  • Delivering high-quality person-centred care for those referred to the service with palliative/end-of-life care needs.
  • Providing support and supervision for the work/development of team members, including Health Care Assistants, volunteers, and those on placement, including student nurses.
  • Ensuring medicines are managed and administered in accordance with all internal policies, standard operating procedures, and legislation related to the management of controlled drugs.
  • Ensuring that patient records are completed accurately and in-line with hospice policy and professional standards.
  • Verifying death for patients on the caseload, following procedures and best practice guidance for care after death and liaising with families, carers, and others involved in care as appropriate.
  • Contributing and/or leading on the provision of education/development opportunities within own area of knowledge and training.
Requirements

  • Experience of working with adults with life-limiting illness and palliative/end-of-life care experience.
  • Community/home-based nursing experience.
  • Good communication skills to enable effective communication with patients, colleagues, and a wide range of partners in care.
  • A solution-focused approach to problems/risk.
  • IT skills, including inputting to clinical records systems.
  • A full UK driving license with business class insurance and access to a vehicle for work purposes.
  • A commitment to an enabling/empowering and non-discriminatory approach to patient care.
  • Able to contribute to a 7-day rota, including weekends and Bank Holidays.
  • A good attendance record with a flexible approach to meet service needs.
